How AI and Cloud Are Shaping Sustainable Supply Chains: A Conversation with Propel Software

Send me a message

In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dario Ambrosini, CMO of Propel Software. Dario brings a wealth of experience in cloud software and manufacturing, making him the perfect guest to explore the intersection of my favourite topics, technology and sustainability in supply chains.

We dive deep into how manufacturers are leveraging cloud solutions to enhance visibility and responsiveness across their supply chains—a crucial capability in an era marked by disruptions, whether due to geopolitical tensions or unforeseen events. Dario shares insights from a recent survey revealing a surprising bipartisan demand for sustainable products in the U.S., highlighting the complexities companies face in navigating this landscape.

We also discuss the transformative potential of AI in manufacturing, particularly its ability to optimise operations and reduce environmental impact. However, Dario is clear-eyed about the challenges ahead, especially in ensuring AI models are trained on robust data sets. Finally, we touch on the importance of aligning technology investments with clear business outcomes, rather than jumping on the latest tech trends without a strategic plan.

Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on how manufacturers can balance sustainability with operational efficiency, and why having a nimble, data-driven supply chain is more critical than ever.
